Green Bay Packers DL Jerel Worthy (undisclosed) missed the first two weeks of organized team activities and is dealing with an unspecified injury. Worthy was absent for OTAs due to the death of his grandmother.

Green Bay Packers DL Jerel Worthy (knee) may not be able to play next season because of the surgery he had to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament earlier this month. He has never suffered a torn ACL before but it usually takes longer for linemen to come back from the injury.

Green Bay Packers defensive line coach Mike Trgovac said Tuesday, Jan. 15, that DE Jerel Worthy (knee) had surgery on his knee. However, Trgovac was unaware of exactly what was repaired. Worthy is expected to miss the entire offseason.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said the returns of CB Charles Woodson (collarbone), WR Jordy Nelson (hamstring), RB Alex Green (concussion), TE Tom Crabtree (hamstring) and DE Jerel Worthy (hamstring) are imminent. "I'm hopeful a lot of those guys can get back. But we'll see," McCarthy said. "I know Jordy, talking with him, he feels like he's very close. Charles, he's waiting on information from the medical staff. He's very close. Alex Green, I was surprised that he wasn't available for Tennessee just based on the way that process, the result of the process, so he'll definitely be available."
